Amazing video Austin, just subbed! We use these tips a ton on our outdoor shoots, super solid when not wanting to fly 12x12's overhead.

Thanks Jason! Really appreciate it. Absolutely. When I am out on doc shoots I hardly ever have the time to set up overheads like that, so I figured these simple strategies might help other cinematographers who work in similar ways to me. Hope you're doing well!

Such a great video. The best tutorials are the ones where the teacher shares the thinking process. Well done, Austin.

Very good walkthrough - I will mention that ND+ISO can do a lot to flatten out a scene, too, and with the second base ISO plus thick ND, on Sony that’s a decent way of flattening the exposure. Not sure if this is allowed in very very pro world, but not all of us have a gaffer’s truck standing by

Love the built in ND on the FX6! It’s so amazing

from a story telling perspective how do you decide whether you want them sitting dead center looking into the camera vs to the right or left of frame looking off camera?

@austinmeyerfilms 3 ай бұрын

That is a great question, and one that I will add to my ideas folder as a topic to make a full video on. Because I think it is a huge stylistic decision that documentarians are tasked with making. Straight to camera interviews are definitely trendy right now in the doc space. For me it really depends on what the story is. For example, in my recent NatGeo doc about turkeys ahead of thanksgiving, I chose to go direct to camera because I wanted the audience to feel as though the participants were talking directly to them. Because it had more of an advocacy message where I hoped people would change the way they viewed turkeys. Versus other projects where I have gone with an off camera eye line because I think the impact is stronger if there is actually a little bit of emotional distance, and the participant doesn't need to be telling their story directly to the viewer. Great question that I'm excited to think more about and create a full video around. Thanks!

"We have way more light than we ever need." Must be a California pro-tip. Come to the PNW where dark and rainy cyan filled light abounds and ND filters cry with disuse.

Great video. In the last setup where was Zoe looking? It looks like she is looking at the camera lens instead of you at the right side of the camera. I know it was bright outside but she should have taken off her sunglasses for the interview. Please clarify. Thanks

@austinmeyerfilms 3 ай бұрын

She was looking at me! Based on the interview setups I was demonstrating on this one, we were having me stand next to the camera and her look right off camera. But I was standing very close. Hope that clarifies! thanks for watching :)
